STAR WARS: The Moon Swing Chronicles

(PC) Tanlee Delentres

Description:

Tanlee’s exact origin is unknown as she remembers little of her family or where she was born. It is unknown if this memory loss is as a result of her experiences as a child, or whether it is just some undiagnosed mental block. Because of this, Tanlee considers herself as a native of the mystical world of Zennox, in the Fakir Sector, the system where she grew up. However Tanlee wound up on Zennox purely through fate – or so her guardian E’Raan had told her.

On her 17th birthday, E’raan told Tanlee of how she had arrived on Zennox in that she came to the world when she was about 7 years old. He told her that 10 years ago, a starship crashed on Zennox, after some terrible space battle. E’Raan had observed the ship’s fiery descent and sensed something unusual about one of its passengers. E’raan made his way to where the ship had landed, and found little left of the ship. But the feeling was there, even if it was only a glimmer. E’raan sifted through the wreckage and located a small child cowering and semi-conscious in a weapons locker. Around her neck was a broken locket with the name Tanlee etched on the front.

E’Raan immediately took the girl back to his hidden cave and begun caring for her and treating her wounds. Whilst caring for her, E’Raan received a vision that this girl named Tanlee would go on to greater thingsand would help defeat a great evil. It was at this point that he swore to protect her until the time was right for her to venture into the galaxy alone.

E’raan returned many a time to the wreckage to search for survivors or information regarding the girl. After numerous visitations, he was able to find information regarding the child’s parents. He had discovered that her parents were highly renowned and respected business-people who worked for a large conglomerate in the Relgim Sector. He searched for their bodies, but was unable to find them. As a result he presumed they had been killed. He conducted a small memorial for those that died in the crash and left the scene, never to return.

It took some time for Tanlee to accept the story that E’raan had told her. Eventually, she did accept it, and decided that since E’raan had taken care of her as he would have his own, it was not necessary to search for her original parent’s legacy. A decision that since her separation with E’raan has plagued her mind constantly.

When Tanlee turned 18, E’raan felt that she was ready. As a result, he took her to to meet with leaders of the Rebel Leaders who he had helped numerous times before. Tanlee having been trained by E’Raan in the ways of combat was ready to help rid the galaxy of the Galactic Empire. E’Raan was concerned by her eagerness to immerse herself in combat, and sensed much anger in her. He knew however, that he could mentor her no longer, especially if what he had foreseen was to transpire.

During her first year as a Rebel Cell Operative, Tanlee took part in various raids across the sector, but mainly on her own world. One away mission occurred on the infamous prison world of Rordak in the Sirros Sector. It was here that she freed a Wookiee by the name of Karahaa. From this point, Karahaa and Tanlee became inseparable. Recently however, Tanlee and Karahaa have become distant, which has been quite strange considering the Wookiee life debt Karahaa had bestowed on Tanlee. This separation has been attributed to the time that Tanlee has dedicated to her training in the Force, and due to Karahaa’s commitments as second in command of the Fakir Sector Force’s medical unit.

Tanlee has gone on to become a member of the Rebel Alliance Military as a Lieutenant and has subsequently been assigned to Mission Group: Thermal Force for her outstanding abilities. Most recently, Tanlee has taken on the difficult task of becoming a Jedi under the guidance of an old Jedi Master named Adol Larynth. Tanlee admits that this decision may not have been the direction that she wanted her life to take, but also admits that her abilities are never put to waste. Tanlee has become a great asset to the Alliance in the Fakir Sector.

Fun Fact:
Tanlee is currently studying to be a Jedi which has dramatically changed her dress sense somewhat of late. On a non-story related note, Tanlee’s name was originally Tanlee O’Brien by then player Julie Pomfret. When that player left the group, the current player, Sharon Rogerson took over and renamed Tanlee with the last name of Jandaloo (which sounds a little more “Star Wars”-ish doesn’t it). More recently, Tanlee’s name has changed again to Delentres after she discovered she was a princess, whose family had adopted her out to family friends after a royal scandal.
